We have a flat family of projective varieties with a torus $T$ action, over $\mathbb{A}^1$.
How do the moment map images of the fibers change when we pass from the generic fiber to the special fiber ...

I hope I wasn't searching wrong keywords or overlooking some easy arguments to prove/disprove it. What I'm asking is the following:
Let $X$ be a smooth complete toric variety. $\mathcal F$ a coherent ...

Let $\Delta \subset \mathbb{R}^4$ be a (reflexive) polytope and $X$ be the hypersurfacedefined by a generic section of the any-canonical bundle of the toric variety $\mathbb{P}_{\Delta}$. Are there ...

Recently I was told that the threefold singularity
$$
x^2+y^2+z^2+w^{2n}=0
$$
in $\mathbb{C}^4$ is a toric variety. How can I see this? What are the generators of the toric fan? Moreover, is it true ...

Let $C,C'$ be rational polyhedral cones in $\mathbb R^n$ both with non-empty interior. Rational means they are generated by vectors with rational entries. One says that $C,C'$ are isomorphic if there ...

Let $p_1,...,p_k\in\mathbb{P}^2$ be general points. Let us consider the blow-up $X_k = Bl_{p_1,...,p_k}\mathbb{P}^2$. It is clear that if $k\leq 3$ then $X_k$ is toric and hence a Mori Dream Space. ...

Recall that a toric variety is a variety $V$ containing an open dense algebraic torus. Here an algebraic torus means a finite product of copies of the multiplicative group of the ground field (which I ...

It's well-known that if $P$ is a finitely generated saturated submonoid of $\mathbb{Z}^n$, then the monoid algebra $k[P]$ is Cohen-Macaulay (at the maximal ideal $m = (P-0)k[P]$). However, all proofs ...

About a month ago I asked this question on math.stackexchange and unfortunately there was no response. Perhaps someone here knows the answer.
Let $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{m \times n}$ be a matrix of full ...

I'm interested in deformations of subvarieties of a toric variety $X$.
Suppose we know a subvariety $V$ in the Chow group of $X$, for example, $V$ is a linear combination of powers of hypersurfaces. ...

Question 1. Given a Laurent polynomial $f(z_1,\cdots,z_n)$, such that the corresponding zero locus $Z$ of $f$ in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ is smooth, can we find a smooth toric variety $\bar{X}$ (together ...

Given a collection $A:=\{a_1, \ldots ,a_n \}$ of different integer points in $\mathbb{N}^d$, which span an affine hyperplane when viewed in $\mathbb{R}^d$, one can define a toric ideal $I_A$ from a ...

I originally asked basically this question on MSE here. From an appendix in Steinberg's "Conjugacy classes in algebraic groups" I found a list of the rational surface singularities. Equations of types ...

I have been trying to understand the very basics of toroidal embeddings, and the definitions on the face of them are not terribly daunting. I've been going with the "locally analytically looks like a ...

I heard the statement "the blowup of a toric variety corresponding to a subdivison of fan" many times, but could not find reference in the literature. What is the precised statement (blowup a point? ...

Hi,
I would like to understand when a toric variety is connected. Given $\Delta$ a fan (possibly with infinitely many cones) in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$ denote with $X_{\Delta}$ the associated toric ...

Toric varieties and convex polyhedra are intimately connected. Some of this can be found in standard text books (the connection between divisors and mixed volumes seems to be a popular example).
One ...

This question comes from the first reduction step of Theorem 4.2 of Kawamata's paper on K-equivalent implies D-equivalent on toroidal varieties. But my question has little to do with this theorem.
A ...

Let $X$ be a nonsingular complex algebraic variety whose tangent bundle is $T_X$. I use Lazarsfeld's book for the definition of a big vector bundle. A line bundle $L$ is big if it has Itaka dimension ...
